Gilmoir isn't a bad shout but there's no Big Muff. I'll guess the edge. Edited May 14 by Blastronaut Fucking autocorrect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42349 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Little bit of Stunt guitaring from Mr. Via, playing with Dweezil Zappa. Solo starts at 3:00, it’s absolutely ridiculous By ridiculous, I mean “how the fuck is he doing that? “ One of the comments under it says “ Vai’s whammy bar needs a cigarette after that!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastronaut 1333 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 That whammy bar likely now identifies as a thermin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2977 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 New purchase today. First new electric guitar I've bought in a long time and my first tele. I'm in love already. ❤️ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44778 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Looks class. I only play my Strandberg now cos of my gimpy shoulder, but I still love my tele and it's all I'd play if I could. The simplicity is the best thing about them. No daft pickup combos to get tied up with or anything, no trem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the house I play my Charvel or my Clapton strat! The LPJ is just for stage & studio otherwise its a deeply stupid purchase Id have a light, playable, cool looking Strandberg in a heartbeat - but again separating what I play at home vs whats on stage.

Tom 14011 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Picked this up from a bloke in Oxford on Sunday. I’d been after an LPJ for a while and we just happened to be down south collecting a drum kit from Guildford. (The fella we bought it off had three alpacas!?) Its a 2023 & I got it for a decent price, rather than the £1400 new it would cost. Although the quality seems to have leapt up considerably since those mid-noughties satin efforts. It’s an incredibly resonant guitar & very harmonically rich. Essentially its a slab of quality wood with a very good pickup on - but it does the basics incredibly well and makes other guitars feel a little dull & non-reactive in comparison. It had barely been played & still has the factory strings and plastic wrapping on, it came with a very fancy case and assorted accessories, although the strap is a bit shite Very happy & I cant wait to gig it. (hard to do it justice with photos but it pops in person haha) (I also picked up a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for Live but we know how good they are) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blastronaut 1333 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Nice! They get a lot of undeserved hate and looked down on in some circles but LP Juniors are great. At the Carcass show last year my uninitiated mate nearly had a coronary when I told him Bill played an old LPJ in B-Standard. He left the show converted.

Gemmill 44778 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Looks class Tom. The simpler, the better with guitars, I reckon, and they don't come much simpler than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Yeh its crazy good and going through the Fender Hot Rod it cuts through the mix perfectly. Which is weird as my Orange Rocker 30 and a variation of guitars always felt like it got lost a bit on stage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Played a show in Dresden and it was 33°c which the guitars didn’t like at all. Hard to keep em in tune, obviously I’ve never played in such heat. 2 snapped strings on the strat (more strings than i have snapped in 2 years) and the strap pin popped out of the Les Paul junior. Quick repair with toothpick/glue + rescrew seems to have done it but wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
